The absolute core fundamental skill that separates the elite from the casuals is the ability to perfectly track the opponent's elixir.

Playing the game without knowing how much elixir your opponent has is like playing poker without looking at the cards on the table.
Knowing When to Strike
Every single aggressive action you take in the arena should be dictated primarily by the opponent's current bank of elixir.

Once you know you have a +3 or +4 advantage, you are no longer playing a fair game; you are executing a mathematically guaranteed victory.
Play safe until you know the math.If you are up by 4, launch your win condition immediately.If you are DOWN in elixir, play hyper-defensively. Mental Arithmetic Under Pressure
Tracking a constantly shifting number in your head while managing complex micro-interactions on the screen is incredibly difficult for beginners.

As you get comfortable with this broad tracking, start actually doing the math: "They started at 10, played a Golem (8), so they are at 2, plus two seconds of generation, they are at 3."

Stop staring at the flashy animations and start focusing on the math.

When you perfectly predict an opponent's inability to defend your push based purely on your mental calculation, you will feel invincible.
